June 8, 2024Highly Recommend
Rick recently played his pipes at my mother's burial. He is a true professional. He communicated well throughout the process, arrived when he said he would and is a magnificent piper. I highly recommend Rick if you are looking for a piper for your event.

Rick communicated throughout the process, visited a week prior and could not have been more accommodating. He was a global sensation as we had a zoom wedding reaching 5 different countries.

May 3, 2026Rick’s presence brought a sense of dignity & comfort
We hired Rick for a celebration of life event. He was outstanding from start to finish. He brought a level of respect & professionalism that truly honored the moment.
His playing was powerful yet carried beautifully creating the kind of sobering & dignified atmosphere we had hoped for. It was meaningful & unforgettable.
He was easy to work with, punctual, & well prepared during such a special event.
We were truly grateful for his talent & would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a skilled bagpiper for their event!

About
With over 25 years of experience, I've played all kinds of events. As a soloist, I've played countless weddings, funerals and celebrations. As Pipe Major of my band, we've played with the Chieftains at Carnegie Hall and at UMass Amherst. We've played with the Red Hot Chilli Pipers at the Warner, the Belding Theater at the Bushnell, the Society Room in Hartford and at the Pipes in the Valley Festival (Hartford). Most recently, we've traveled to Fulda, Germany to play at the Fulda International Tattoo, to Saint Gallen, Switzerland for their Tattoo and twice to Basel, Switzerland for the second largest outdoor Tattoo in the world.
